William Haggas was delighted to see Dubai Honour maintain his unbeaten record in Australia with victory in the Tancred Stakes at Rosehill on Tuesday.
The globetrotting seven-year-old landed the Ranvet Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes on his previous trip to the Southern Hemisphere two years ago and returned fresh from finishing second to Marco Botti’s Giavellotto in the Hong Kong Vase in December.
Bidding for his fourth Group One success overall, having last summer claimed a first top-level win in Europe in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, Dubai Honour quickened up smartly to grab the lead under Tom Marquand and passed the post three-quarters of a length in front.
Former Dermot Weld inmate Duke De Sessa filled the runner-up spot, with Vauban – a high-class performer under both codes for Willie Mullins before moving to Australia – back in third in a meeting held over from the weekend due to rain.
Haggas proudly watched on from his Newmarket base and said: “It was marvellous and he ran brilliantly.
“It was a very competitive race with all the right horses to the fore but he was better than them on the day and he was fantastic.
“He’s remarkably consistent and that’s down to Issy Paul, who treats him like her child. She rides him every day and takes him abroad every time he runs and does a terrific job.”
Dubai Honour will now bid to regain his crown in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick on Saturday week, a race Haggas also won twice with the globetrotting Addeybb in 2020 and 2021.
His biggest threat appears to be Chris Waller’s superstar mare Via Sistina, formerly trained in Britain by George Boughey, but Haggas is up for the challenge.
He added: “Absolutely it will be the Queen Elizabeth Stakes next. It’s unfortunate we’ve got a bit less time but he’s a seven-year-old and providing he is okay, he will run again on Saturday week.”

Week 1 Predictions for the 2025-2026 NFL Season
For Trevor Lawrence this is his make-or-break year. Awarded with a rich contract, Lawrence has yet to show he can be one of the league’s elite quarterbacks. The Panthers are on the rise and showed much improvement over the latter part of the 2024 season. But with many looking forward to the debut of Travis Hunter, a two-way player that Jacksonville says will play wide receiver and not defensive back. Hunter will get a few plays on defense, but it is on offense where he will be seen the most. At home, the Jags should win this one.
Slavii ani Spartě bych se nebránil, říká novic v kabině jednadvacítky

US Open: Ageless he isn’t, but Novak Djokovic keeps digging deep and is still alive for major No. 25
NEW YORK — It seems like the old man has spent roughly half of this US Open hunched over at the waist, grabbing at his neck or rubbing his temple. At one point earlier in the tournament, Novak Djokovic even said in an interview with ESPN that he was more concerned about the state of his body than he’d ever been.It’s just what happens when you’re 38 years old, having accumulated so many miles on the legs, playing one of the most demanding sports on earth against opponents in their physical prime.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt hurts.But when Djokovic takes the court, the pain always goes in two directions.

Lingfield and Bath host competitive Wednesday cards
Motazzen will have to see off Appier and Emaculate Soldier if he is to carry a 6lb penalty to victory in one of Wednesday's feature contests from Lingfield.2.05 Lingfield - Motazzen attempts to defy penaltyMotazzen heads to Lingfield having won his last four starts which include three over hurdles and most recently back on the flat at Southwell and will attempt to go for a fifth win in a row, attempting to defy the 6lb rise from his win in Nottinghamshire last time out. Henrietta Knight's charge picked his way through the field and showed a good turn of foot to win well at Southwell two weeks ago, which earned him a 6lb rise in the weights. At the line he was a shade cosy so you would suggest a bold showing could be expected on his return in this […]
‘Caught cold’ – Athers on England’s ‘curious, calamitous’ South Africa collapse
Michael Atherton urged England to wake up fast after a crushing seven-wicket defeat to South Africa at Headingley, warning their lack of preparation and format adjustment is already jeopardising their hopes of clinching the ODI series.England collapsed from 82-2 to 131 all out in just 24.3 overs, losing their final eight wickets for 49 runs as South Africa cruised to victory to go 1-0 up in the three-match series. Atherton pointed to the potential disruptive impact of the Hundred concluding just two days prior but insisted there was excuse for England's failure to recalibrate to the demands of 50-over cricket."England, without question, have been caught cold," he told Sky Sports. "South Africa look like a side who have been together playing serious international cricket."England's players have been through a month of The Hundred - the eliminator and finals were this […]

‘We will see the best of Lando’ – McLaren boss expects Norris title fightback
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella believes Lando Norris' retirement in Zandvoort will bring out the best of the British driver to ignite a title fightback.Norris trails championship leader Oscar Piastri by 34 points after an oil leak caused by the car's chassis forced him to retire during the latter stages of the Dutch Grand Prix, which was won by his McLaren team-mate. The points gap between the title protagonists is the biggest of this season and it comes with nine rounds remaining, starting with this weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza."If anything, we may see even a better version of Lando because now is the time to extract, if there is anything more, even more out of his potential," said Stella."I look forward to seeing Lando in the coming races. I'm sure this is going to be a great spectacle […]
